Home to State University of NY at New Paltz, this small town has a sizable hippy community as well as students. The young feeling is a refreshing change from upstate NY’s older crowd. “There are just as many real hippies there as there are in Woodstock, N.Y. I know this because I am a long hair dreded hippy that lives near by both of these locations. The good thing about New Paltz is that it isn’t nearly as hyped up as Woodstock. This provides for a nice relaxing atmosphere.”

Taos is a wonderful, laid back place. Local attractions include the ancient Taos Pueblo, and the nearby Taos Ski Valley. There’s a certain energy in this place you don’t find elsewhere. The sacredness and spiritual qualities of the area can touch the soul.
“I went to Taos, New Mexico last summer and found the place swarming with beautiful people. There are a few communes right outside of town… where Easy Rider was filmed. Lots of freaks around and so much to learn from each other… ecstacy. A bit touristy, but not yet too corrupt with society.”
